Aeronamics Flo1
World premiere for foiling dinghy

Aeronamic presents the Flo1 as a world premiere at boot Düsseldorf, a foiling dinghy. The Flo1 is a
dinghy with a length of 4.25 meters. In experienced hands, the little racer can reach speeds of over
20 knots. However, the principal aim of the new boat was not speed, but to make foiling simple. It is
made possible by the self-stabilizing character of the hull. In light winds, the boat reaches boat
speeds of 6 to 8 knots and already starts to lift out of the water. Thanks to the integrated DSS-
system, it is easy to handle for any recreational sailor.

The first two prototypes of the Flo1 were already fast, but did not meet the goal of making foiling
accessible for a large group of recreational sailors. To achieve this, Aeronamics sought the help of
shipbuilder Hugh Welbourn, creator of the patented Dynamic Stability System (DSS). With this DSS
technology, a boat sails with natural stability. This technology has already proven itself in Infiniti
Yachts and Quant Boats.

Amel 50
Versatile new blue water yacht from France nominated as EYotY 2018

With the new Amel 50, the French shipyard is expanding the Amel yacht line to include a smaller and
extremely versatile model just above the 15-meter-mark. Whether it is a family trip, a relaxed sailing
weekend with friends, a romantic cruise for two or a long blue water voyage across the oceans, the
Amel 50, which has in fact been nominated as Europe's Yacht of the Year 2018, is the right boat for
any of these occasions.

The Amel 50, designed by Berret / Racoupeau, features some interesting innovations, but also
remains true to the characteristics assocciated with Amel yachts as a covered, low lying and well
protected cockpit. Abandoning a ketch rigging for the Amel 50, the designers return to a single mast
yacht with slup rigging. The hull design of the Amel 50 also follows new lines, offering a much wider
stern section of the yacht with space for a twin rudder system and a large sunbed aft.

Another new design feature: the almost vertical bow of the Amel 50 and the fixed bowsprit, which
not only serves as a support for the anchor, but also allows a striking new sail plan. To enhance the
performance of the Amel 50, the waterline has been extended, creating additional space in the bow
area of the yacht. But some of the innovations are less obvious: a new production process has been
introduced for the first time at the French shipyard for the Amel 50, which is constructed using the
vacuum infusion technique for the fiberglass sandwich construction.

Below decks, the Amel 50 offers spacious accommodation for up to six people, who can be
accommodated in two double cabins with double beds and an addittional cabin with bunk beds. All
cabins offer generous storage space. The stern cabin also has a separate, fully equipped bathroom
with a separate shower cabin. The two other cabins, located in the bow, share a complete bathroom,
which is directly accessible through the double cabin. Midships, the Amel 50 offers a luxurious saloon
with various seating options and a nav-station, as well as a fully equipped galley for preparing
culinary delights.

Astus 20.5
An easily trailerable trimaran

The concept of Astusboats new trimaran Astus 20.5, which premieres at boot Düsseldorf 2018, is
based on the success of the shipyard's Astus 20.2 model, of which 120 units have already been sold.
The new Astus 20.5 is aimed at sailors who are looking for an easy-to-rig, easy-to-handle and, above
all, easy-to-trailer boat that can be taken to all kinds of destinations quickly and easily on the road.

Since the successful launch of the Astus 16.5 two years ago, Astusboats has further expanded and
improved their range in cooperation with the boat designers of VPLP. Astusboats has remained true
to its original philosophy of providing customers with simple but very efficient boats in modern and
sleek designs. And this is also true for the new Astus 20.5, once again created in partnership with
VPLP.

The streamlined hull of the Astus 20.5 provides great stability on the water thanks to the 930 liter
floats and allows gliding on the water at high speeds, with the tulip-shaped hull optimally deflecting
spray water. The various optional enhancements available for the Astus 20.5 allows sailors to adapt
the sailing multihull to their individual sailing style.

The Astus 20.5 is characterized by the very same characteristics that have made the Astus 20.2 so
popular. It's easy to rig up and down and easy to handle on land and in the water. Thanks to the
retractable floats, it is quick and easy to transport on the specially adapted trailer and also suitable
for storage in the garage.

Technical Data:
Length over all: 5.95 m
Beam (incl. floats): 4.50 m
Beam (retracted floats): 2.48 m
Weight: 390 kg

Bavaria C45
A superyacht in disguised in 45 foot

BAVARIA YACHTS start into the new year at the boot Düsseldorf 2018 with a real fireworks of world
premieres. Among them the 13.98-meter BAVARIA C45, a sailing yacht convincing above all by many
innovative features on board which one would rather expect on board much larger yachts.

The good sailing performance of the new BAVARIA C45 is ensured by a hull designed by Cossutti
Yacht Design from Italy, who have great experience in the design of regatta and cruising yachts. The
yacht with its elongated hull is rather reminiscent of a superyacht. It responds incredibly direct in all
maneuvers, and can be handled safely and quickly in all wind conditions. Unique for a boat of this
size is the dinghy garage at the stern, which can be reached quickly via the large bathing platform.

On deck, spaces for working and relaxation are clearly structured and separated from each other,
while the walking decks run without steps from the bow to the stern. Recessed windows and hatches
help to make the Bavaria C45 look sleek. The spacious cockpit, with its two large loungers, two tables
and a grill at the rear, is the ideal place to relax on deck. The aft cockpit is the working area with two
helm stations including control panels which allow the skipper to keep the whole yacht completely
under control from his position at the helm. With four winches in the immediate vicinity of the two
steering wheels, all sails on board can be set and trimmed from the skipper’s position on board the
Bavaria C45.

Below decks, the new BAVARIA C45 is extremely variable. Three, four and five cabin versions are
available for the prospective owner to choose from. The 3-cabin version offers a spacious master
suite with shower and bath in the bow and two no less comfortable double cabins aft. In the 4-cabin
version, the owner's suite turns into two separate double cabins with en-suite bathrooms, and a
separate shower is accessible via the saloon. The bright saloon itself remains untouched by the
number of cabins below deck. An L-shaped galley with many storage compartments guarantees
guests' well-being, who can relax on the port side U-shaped saloon table or on the port side lounge
sofa. On request, a fifth cabin with two bunk beds can also be installed on the C45, which makes this
yacht attractive for charter companies as well.

Technical specifications (standard):
Length over all: 13.98 m
Beam: 4.49 m
Draft: 2.20 m
Displacement: 11,935 kg
Sail area: 114 m² / 123 m²

BAVARIA C50
Elegant & dynamic design

In addition to the upcoming world premieres of the BAVARIA C65 and BAVARIA C45, BAVARIA
YACHTS is also presenting a fourth sailing yacht in the new C-Line at boot Düsseldorf: the world
premiere of the new BAVARIA C50. In the class of 50-foot sailing yachts, the Bavaria C50 sets new
standards with its elegant and dynamic design. The low lines of the hull, enhanced by the elegance of
the large hull windows, were drawn by Cossutti Yacht Design. The yacht’s appearance is underlined
by a tidy deck on the bow and low superstructures. Like the other yachts of the new C-line, the
BAVARIA C50 will be available in the three different model versions Holiday, Style and Ambition.

The deck layout of the new Bavaria C50 is designed for fast and relaxed sailing, the yacht has
excellent sailing characteristics and handling is easy. At both helm stations the skipper is always fully
in control of all maneuvers which can even be executed one-handed thanks to a self-tacking jib. And
there is also plenty of room for relaxation on deck thanks to the numerous sun loungers. The large
bathing platform, the garage for dinghies and watersports equipment as well as grill and wet bar in
the cockpit area complete the amenities on board the Bavaria C50.

Below decks, BAVARIA offers various layout variants of the C50, from the classic 3-cabin version to a
5-cabin version plus skipper’s cabin in the bow. A spacious saloon and a luxurious kitchen with plenty
of storage invite you to socialize with family and friends on board. In the 3-cabin version, of course,
each cabin has its own bathroom. In addition, there is a separate shower for guests, which can
alternatively be ordered as a closet. In the 4-cabin version, there are two more large cabins in the
bow.

Bavaria C65
Impressive new flagship by Bavaria Yachts

Bavaria Yachts presents its new flagship in the sailing range, the Bavaria C65, thus expanding the new
C-line which was launched at boot Düsseldorf 2017 with the world premiere of the C57 at the top
end. The Bavaria C65 not only replaces the Bavaria C57 as the flagship of the Giebelstadt shipyard,
but is also the largest ship ever to be built by Bavaria Yachts.

With their C65, which offers many individualized layout options below deck, Bavaria Yachts
addresses the rapidly growing market of sailing yachts between 55 to 75 feet and push their new
strategic focus. The concept of the Bavaria C65, based on an elegant and modern design, targets
experienced sailors with the highest demands. As a fast cruiser with extremely safe sailing
characteristics, the C65 is ideal for blue water sailing but can also be sailed on holiday trips by smaller
crews or even single handed.

A racy rig, a flat, tidy deck layout and clear, elegant lines of the hull characterize the noble
appearance of the Bavaria C65. The flat superstructure, with a narrow window band extending from
the cockpit to the mast, and the large windows in the hull, which ideally adapt to the sleek hull,
highlight the dynamic design of the Bavaria C65 and visually stretch its length, giving it a sporty,
elegant look.

On deck and in the spacious cockpit, the Bavaria C65 features a twin helm and rudder as well as a
clearly structured layout, allowing all tasks at hand to be managed easily. Areas for sailing and those
for relaxing are clearly set apart and designed accordingly. Two large seating areas, each with its own
table, invite guests to enjoy the time at sea or in port in the cockpit. On the cabin roof both sides of
the hatch opening, there are two spacious sunbathing areas, where you can enjoy the sun.
Of course, the Bavaria C65 has large swimming platform at the stern as can be expected from a yacht
this size, inviting you to take a swim or prepare for your next dive. When deployed, the bathing
platform also opens up access to the dinghy garage, which offers ample space for a jet tender and
various other toys such as diving equipment or SUP boards.

If the Bavaria C65 looks slender on the outside, the impression below decks is completely different.
The concept of the Bavaria C65 is a convincing one not least due to the enormous amount of space

available, no matter whether one chooses the 3- or 4-double cabins layout options. Even more so,
both also offer an additional double cabin with bunk beds in the bow. Everywhere below deck there
is always enough room to allow freedom of movement, even if you take the maximum of 10 people
on board.

The Bavaria C65 also has a lot to offer in terms of comfort. All cabins in the 3-cabin layout have full
bathrooms with separate shower cubicles and even the crew cabin in the bow has its own bathroom.
All areas below deck are bright with daylight and a friendly atmosphere thanks to the many skylights
and hull windows. The modern, high quality and fully equipped kitchen is set apart from the
extremely spacious saloon, which invites you to enjoy company with its spacious and comfortable
seating.

Bénéteau Oceanis 51.1
Straight forward lines - elegant deck layout

With the new Oceanis 51.1, French yacht builder Bénéteau presents the first yacht of the new
generation of the Oceanis series. The longtime exhibitor of boot Düsseldorf is launching the new
Oceanis 51.1, a highly comfortable and variable yacht that offers an unbelievable choice of options
for individual variations with over 700 different combinations available.

The new Oceanis impresses with its straight forward lines and a new, extended, tulip-shaped hull,
which provides more space below deck as well as a functional and elegant deck layout. With the new
51.1 Bénéteau aims not only at cruising sailors and charter customers, but also offers a performance-
optimized version under the label "First Line Edition" with much more sail area and a higher mast,
aimed at clients with a pronounced interest in regatta sailing as well.

The spacious cockpit is clearly divided into a rest area to the front and a work area aft. All lines,
sheets and halyards are led to the cockpit, where they can be easily operated at one of the two
winches positioned right in front of the two helm stations. Thus, easy handling of the yacht is
ensured at all times. As standard, the 51.1 is equipped with an in-mast furling mainsail, a self-tacking
jib and the "Dock & Go" system for easier maneuvering in small harbours.

On deck, the Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 offers a lot of comfortable space for relaxation and recreation.
In addition to the seating in the cockpit, the sailing yacht features two additional sunbathing areas on
both sides next to the hatch opening on the cabin roof. As can be expected on a yacht this size, the
Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 features a bathing platform at the stern end which can be lowered down to
the water's edge for convenient access to the water. For the sake of more space below decks the
Oceanis 51.1 has no garage for a tender, however, a dinghy can still be carried on two extendable
davits if required.

Below decks, the clear lines of the outside hull are continued and the Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 plenty
of natural light floats through the many large windows, creating a very luxurious and spacious lounge

area. The size varies, depending on the selected cabin version of the sailing yacht, and may thus be
adjusted to the owner's individual preferences. The lounge area includes a fully-fledged, u-shaped
kitchen, which guarantees the well-being of all guests on board. For all wooden elements used under
deck, prospective owners may choose between brushed oak or mahogany, depending on your
personal taste.

With the Beneteau Oceanis 51.1, prospective yacht owners have the choice of of four basic layouts:
There are two versions of the yacht with three double cabins plus one single cabin in the bow. Three
or four bathrooms are optional in these versions. The five-cabin version, including an extra single
cabin in the bow, has five bathrooms. The six-cabin variant comprises of five double cabins, one of
which fitted with bunk beds, and one single cabin.

CNB 66
Big yacht for small crew --- German premiere

The luxurious CNB 66, the latest semi-custom addition to the Bénetéau group's CNB shipyard,
celebrates its German premiere at boot Düsseldorf 2018. Designed by Philippe Briand, the CNB 66
manages to impress with elegance and quality as well as good performance and easy handling.

On deck, the CNB 66 is clearly structured and well-organized. Work and leisure areas are clearly
separated and provide ample room for moving around and recreational activities. The entire upper
deck is largely without steps, increasing safety and freedom of movement on board. A spacious stern
tender garage provides space for a 3.25-meter tender that can be launched into the water in less
than a minute.

Below decks, the CNB 66 also offers an abundance of space: A total of four double cabins, one with
bunk beds, provides ample comfort and privacy for up to eight people on board at a time. All cabins
have separate bathrooms with washing or shower facilities. The extremely spacious owner's suite in
the bow offers extra comfort and a large queen island bed. The saloon midships is designed
extremely generous and features a 270° panoramic window offering an unobstructed panoramic
view of the outdoors. A large fully equipped kitchen completes the interior of the CNB 66, designed
by Jean-Marc Piaton and Rafael Bonet.

Dufour Grand Large 360
Model update with great attention to detail

The new Dufour Grand Large 360 is an advanced redesign of the established 350 Grand Large and
inherits her hull, rudder, keel and rigging. The deck of the Dufour Grand Large 360, which celebrates
its German premiere in Düsseldorf, got a complete redesign to align the boat's appearance with the
new Exclusive model series.

The cockpit of the Dufour Grand Large 360 was functionally optimized, the control columns are now
detached and provide the helmsmen with considerably more moving space, facilitating better boat
handling. At the stern, the cockpit ends in a dinghy garage and there is an option to integrate a
wetbar with grill and sink. Last but not least, the designers enlarged the bathing platform
significantly, and placed it closer to the waterline, creating an easily accessible area for relaxation.

The Dufour Grand Large 360 is available in a two or three double cabin version. Optionally, the
double aft cabin can be replaced with two smaller double cabins, although this will result in the
omission of storage in the transom seat as well as a smaller bathroom. The roomy saloon remains
unaffected with its L-shaped galley and the nav station, as does the large double cabin in the bow.
When configuring the Dufour Grand Large 360, the future owner may choose between moabi, oak
and teak surfaces.

Length over all: 10.30 m

Figaro Bénéteau 3
Foiling one-design monohull

The Figaro Beneteau 3 is the first production foiling one-design monohull ever to be designed. A
distillation of technology and innovation, it results from a collaboration between group Beneteau’s
best experts and the Van Peteghem Lauriot-Prévost (VPLP) office, the architects of the two last boats
to win the Vendée Globe. The first prototype will be launched and tested this summer 2017. The
Figaro Beneteau 3 will enter the ISO/World Sailing design category A.

The specifications define the Figaro Beneteau 3 monohull as being as reliable as its predecessor, the
Figaro Beneteau 2. It is equipped with foils, a better performing and ballast-free hull, a more slender
and deeper keel, a setback mast and a more extensive and larger sail plan. The FB3 foils will have an
inward-facing profile. They are versatile foils that create drift reduction and improve the boat’s
righting moment, without increasing the movement, which improves the boat’s performance.

Similar to the Imoca 60s, the mast is set back, providing balance under sail. This allows the use of
high performance sails and the addition of a bowsprit. Solo sailors will sail with a square-top mainsail,
a genoa and a jib, but also a masthead spinnaker (105 m² to gain speed in a light breeze) and a small
gennaker. The Mainsail area of the FB3 will have 39.5 m² and Jib area 30.5 m². The FB3 has been
designed to meet the requirements of the French Figaro circuit, including the well-known “Solitaire
URGO le Figaro”, but may well suit other uses.

Focus 750 Performance
Trailerable yacht for crew of four

The new Focus 750 Performance built at the Sobusiak Yacht Yard in Poland is an easily trailerable and
easy to handle small yacht, which can accommodate up to four people below deck. This family-
friendly yacht celebrates its German premiere in Düsseldorf at boot 2018.

The new Focus 750 Performance is a modern cruiser racer designed specifically to be sailed by
smaller crews or even one-handed. This yacht is suitable for competitive sailing in regattas as well as
for relaxed cruising with the family on weekends. The well-structured and functional layout of the
Focus 750 Performance offers sleeping accommodations for four below deck, even allowing for short
holiday cruises.

Thanks to the low overall weight of just 1.3 tonnes and the narrow beam of 2.50 meters, the Focus
750 is ideal for transportation on a trailer towed by the family car. In addition, an optional lifting
keel, removable rudder blades and a special mast raising system (also optional), eliminating the need
for a crane, make it a lot easier to move the yacht from the trailer into the water and back. Thus, the
Focus 750 Performance is an ideal boat for families who like to sail their yacht in different
destinations.

For owners with slightly higher demands, the shipyard offers various optional enhancements for the
Focus 750 Performance. For example, a furling jib, windows to open in the aft cabin as well as
windows in the coachroof for the pantry and toilet and a fresh water system are options to choose
from. The interior design can be produced in mahogany and also in regard to the sails and the fittings
on deck a variety of options are on offer.

Fountaine Pajot New 47
Sleek and dynamic lines

The NEW 47 is the new sailing catamaran by Fountaine Pajot designed to offer a very high level of
comfort, style and performance, setting new standards in modern cruising catamarans. The NEW 47
with its sleek and dynamic lines was designed by the Berret-Racoupeau team and embodies the pure

and essential principles of the Fountaine Pajot shipyard. This catamaran exudes a striking aura with
her distinctive design, strong lines and timeless elegance under sail or at anchor.

The NEW 47 boasts great living space, including an open-plan cockpit with a table for 8 guests -
extendable for 12 - designed for hospitable events with its integrated BBQ and a new tender lift that
doubles as a swimming platform. The foredeck is fitted with a large sun lounge and ample further
space for relaxation as for example an second sun bed to enjoy sunbathing on the flybridge.

The 47’s saloon comes with bright natural light and her galley has an island bench plus an abundance
of storage space, making it ideal for extended cruising. The catamaran is available in two layouts,
including a three-cabin owner version featuring a master suite, that occupies an entire hull complete
with a luxurious ensuite bathroom with Italian-style shower, and two guest cabins in the port hull
with their own ensuite bath. The new 47 is also available in a five-cabin charter version with private
ensuites to the four double guest cabins as well as to the convenient crew quarters.

The new catamaran is more than just eye candy as it is primarily built for great sailing experiences. A
large sail area and a perfectly positioned mast make this new Fountaine Pajot catamaran fast,
incredibly stable and most importantly safe and reliable. Fountaine Pajot New 47 truly lets you "sail
in style" and experience sailing in the best way possible.

Grand Soleil GS 34 Performance
A legend returns

Cantiere del Pardo returns to the roots of the shipyard with a new edition of the legendary Grand
Soleil GS 34 Performance and launches a sporty racer for the ORCi and IRC handicap systems. The GS
34 is a legend among sailors, over 80 units were built of the yacht originally designed in the 70s by
Finot and on sale well into the 80s. The GS 34 Performance presented now features modern lines and
an improved performance potential, yet without sacrificing comfort and quality of the materials
used.

The new concept of the Grand Soleil GS 34 Performance was created by Skyron, a joint project of
several young Italian designers and marine architects, specifically with the IRC and ORCi handicaps in
mind. Obviously, the Grand Soleil GS 34 Performance is aimed specifically at sailors with a keen
interest in regatta sailing. The yacht is on offer with both a single- or double-steering system and can
be ordered optionally either with a T-keel or a fin keel.

However, the new Grand Soleil 34 Performance is, however, not designed as a thoroughbred racer.
Even only a quick glance below decks will proove this. Here, the Grand Soleil GS 34 Performance
presents itself with a two-double cabin layout, with the cabins distributed at the bow and stern. This
allows for enough space midships for a small saloon including a complete pantry and even a small
wet room. Thus, the Grand Soleil GS 34 can also be used for fast cruising and longer weekend and
holiday trips.

The GS 34 Performance is built using the vacuum infusion process with a PVC-foam core in a GRP-
sandwich-construction. The bulkheads as well as the furniture inside are also produced from
lightweight composite materials to save weight and enhance the racing characteristics of the sailing
yacht. Yet, the many wood applications to the furniture enhance the interior design visually. In
addition, the two cabins are designed in such a way that they can be easily deployed as storage space
for the sails during a regatta.

Hallberg-Rassy 340
Fast & comfortable sailing

With the new Hallberg-Rassy 340, the Swedish shipyard delivers the best of Hallberg-Rassy and
cleverly combines it with the latest Frers design. As a result, the new HR 340 became a powerful
yacht with remarkably high levels of comfort. The modern, upright stempost and the long
underwater line with rounded shapes in the underwater hull at the bow make for good sailing
characteristics and course stability of the Hallberg-Rassy 340. The new Hallberg-Rassy 340 replaces
the 342, which has been built 328 times over the last 13 years.

For the first time, Hallberg-Rassy also offers a dual helm option on the new HR 340 in addition to the
standard tiller steering. Like its predecessor, the HR-34, the Hallberg-Rassy 340 also has a double
rudder system which makes the yacht easy to stear and easy to control even in rough weather
conditions. As usual, the spacious cockpit of the Hallberg-Rassy offers both the helmsmen and the
guests on board good protection even in rough conditions at sea.

Cockpit and deck layout are, as usual on a Hallberg-Rassy yacht, well-structured and functional. An
additional storage compartment for excess lines behind the halyard cleats provides extra freedom of
movement in the cockpit. Another innovation introduced by Hallberg-Rassy in the HR 340 is the
option of a fold-down bathing platform, which, when closed, creates an elegant transom.

Below decks, the Hallberg-Rassy 340 offers plenty of room for a yacht of this size. The front cabin,
which acts as the owner's cabin, offers plenty of space, including a 2.04-meter double berth and
plenty of storage space. In addition, the owner's cabin has a separate bathroom with sink and toilet.
The aft cabin also features a spacious double berth and plenty of storage space.

The salon area of the 340 also offers a generous amount of living space, as the mast is located
directly at the main bulkhead, thus allowing for more space. The location of the kitchen area also
contributes to an efficient usage of space and allows for free movement under the deck even when
cooking is under way. The cozy seating area with two 2-meter sofas and a folding dining table invites
you to socialize during meal times.

Hanse 348
Inspired by Air in the new HanseYachts Elements Design Series

The Hanse 348 may be the smallest yacht in the new Hanse fleet, yet boasts the same luxury and
value as its three bigger cousins. "Inspired by Air", the clear shape of the deck gives it a sportier look
and the horizontally mounted panorama window in the saloon perfects the outward appearance,
giving the saloon an airy atmosphere. The many technical innovations on board round off the
convincing new concept.

Its high rig and sail plan is packed with enormous performance to deliver a maximum of speed –
without compromising the easy sailing experience and handling in any weather. The tried and tested
"Hanse Easy Sailing Concept" keeps sailing simple in all conditions. All maneuvers can be controlled
from the helm station, all lines are within reach of the helmsman. The enormous sail plan of the
Hanse 348 as well as the marked, fast lines of the hull have been designed by judel/vrolijk & co.

The joy of sailing continues below decks, where you can breathe in the fresh sea air whenever you
like from the many portholes, which is unique for a yacht of this class. At the same time, the windows
turn the saloon into a cool, sun-filled lounge that prospective owners can design individually with
elegant wood and HanseYachts' one-of-a-kind fabrics and décor. Feel at home on the high seas on
your individual yacht matching your sailing personality.

With Hanse, you have a progressive yacht that makes a statement. Technical innovations and quality
in every detail are just as much part of the Hanse 348 as are an emotional design and comfortable
atmosphere of well-being. Each detail is a subtle expression of superior design. The well-orchestrated
ensemble of advanced technology and its integration is the highest art of yacht design at Hanse.

The Hanse Easy Sailing Concept is legendary. Hanse invented the integrated self-tacking jib. All the
lines are brought to the helm. This means you can sail your yacht single-handed – or carefree while
enjoying time with guests. Reefing, tacking and setting sail can all be performed from the helm
without any effort. The deck is free of lines and fittings, giving you uncompromising comfort and
space while you are at sea or relaxing in the harbour. The interior layout of your Hanse 348 can be
adapted to your individual needs and desires. You can choose between the classic layout and a tailor-
made cabin concept for many or just a few guests on board. Three packages are available to
customize the technical equipment on board to your personal needs: comfort package, cruising
package and navigation package.

Hanse 548
Easy handling - excellent design

Even the pure design concept of the new Hanse 548 by Greifswald based shipyard HanseYachts, an
exhibitor at the boot Düsseldorf for decades, was so convincing for Europe's leading sailing
journalists that this luxury cruising yacht was nominated for the European Yacht of the Year Award
2018 in the category Family Cruiser even before its first launch. Whether the Hanse 548 can prevail
against its two competitors, will be announced at the award ceremony on the first night of boot
Dusseldorf 2018 in January.

With the new Hanse 548, the renowned German yacht builder is launching a new luxury-class yacht,
which impresses due to its excellent sailing characteristics, easy handling and extremely variable
layouts. Below decks, future owners can choose from a total of ten different layouts, with which
HanseYachts once again sets a benchmark in international yacht building. With its dimensions, it
offers a maximum of living space and is perfect for relaxed sailing trips to the most beautiful
destinations in the world.

Equipped with a tender garage, a bathing platform, a T-top and twelve hull windows, the new Hanse
548 newly defines luxurious sailing at 55 feet boat length. On the well-organized deck and in the
cockpit, the sailing yacht offers various areas for relaxing and sunbathing. On the inside, the yacht is
refined with elegant fabric accents and convinces with its characteristic modern lounge style as well
as a clear hull and interior design, which form a harmonious contrast to the natural materials and the
warm colours.

Renowned yacht designers judel / vrolijk & co are responsible for the sail plan and the strikingly
elegant hull lines of the Hanse 548, guaranteeing for the good sailing performance and safety of this
yacht. The balanced lateral plan and rudder blade further enhance these characteristics. The Hanse
Easy Sailing Concept, including an integrated self-tacking jib and running all sheets and halyards up to
the helm station, helps to keep the deck free and organized, even allowing the yacht to be sailed
single-handedly. Maneuvers such as setting sails, tacking or shortening sails can be accomplished
without leaving the position at the helm. Thus, the Hanse 548 as the first design in the new line of
Hanse yachts proves that the philosophy of "Breaking Rules. Setting Trends" continues to drive the
brand's course into the future.

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 319
Comfortable & compact family cruiser

The Sun Odyssey 319, on display for its German premiere in Düsseldorf, is a continuation of general
improvements Jeanneau started in its line of cruising yachts with the Sun Odyssey 440 - and for the
first time in years Jeanneau tends to the market segment of small yachts under 10 meters.

The new Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 319 is a compact as well as comfortable boat, tailor-made for small
families and newcomers to sailing. During the design of the Jeanneau 319 the French shipyard paid

special attention to easy boat handling and high security standards aboard. Combined with its
extensive range of equipment, the smallest member of the Sun Odyssey series allows for easy and
relaxed sailing. Below decks, the Sun Odyssey 319 makes room for a maximum of 6 people, who can
be accommodated overnight and well preserved thanks to the small but well-organized pantry
kitchen.

In the bow and aft the Sun Odyssey is equipped with double cabins, each sporting twin bunks and
ample storage space for a boat this size. The two benches in the lounge can be conveniently turned
into two further bunks, and in addition to the wet room, the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 319 is also
equipped with a small but complete navigation station.

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490
Unimpaired freedom of movement on board

With the new Sun Odyssey 490, Jeanneau and designers Philippe Briand and Jean-Marc Piaton have
managed to preserve the 27-year tradition of the successful Sun Odyssey range, while modernizing
the lines and maintaining a harmonious overall appearance. As a long-standing exhibitor at boot
Düsseldorf, the shipyard Jeanneau regularly presents a wide range of sailing as well asmotoryachts in
the Düsseldorf exhibition halls.

With the 49 feet long Sun Odyssey 490 Jeanneau breaks new ground in deck layout. As the only yacht
in this category to date, the 490 offers complete and barrier-free freedom of movement on deck.
This is made possible by the gently sloping side decks going down to cockpit level at the stern end
without steps. This not only offers extraordinary freedom of movement on deck, but also brings with
it increased functionality and easy handling of the new sailing yacht yacht.

The cockpit of the new Jeanneau is also well thought out and tidy in appearance. All important lines
are brought to the winches in front of one of the two helms so that all basic sailing maneuvers can be
carried out directly from the helm. A centre console with compass and instruments gives both
control stations an overview of all important navigational data and keeps the handling of the yacht
simple and straightforward.

Below decks, the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490 will be available in two equally luxurious layout
versions. The two-cabin version of the Sun Odyssey 490 offers a large and luxurious owner's suite in
the bow area, which has a separate bathroom and separate shower cubicle. A large double bed and
plenty of storage space for clothing and luggage complete this comfortable set-up. Another twin
cabin is located aft to starboard and has a bath with shower cabin that is also accessible via the
saloon. On the port side there is a large storage compartment for the sails, which can alternatively be
replaced by another double cabin with double bed on request.

The saloon of the Sun Odyssey 490 offers plenty of space and comfort for a sociable life on board
below deck. The u-shaped seating area to starbord includes a large dining table and enjoys an open
view of the kitchen. The fully equipped kitchen with a three-burner stove is also arranged in u-

shaped and opens up towards the dining area. Double sink and spacious fridge are standard on the
Sub Odyssey 490. In addition, the saloon offers a spacious nav station that comfortably seats two
people.

LA 35
A classic, yet modern daysailer - and an eyecatcher!

With the new LA 35, LA Yacht- und Bootsbau GmbH from Waren on Lake Müritz in the north-east of
Germany is launching another classic daysailer designed by Martin Menzner at Berckemeyer Yacht
Design. The shipyard manager Lothar Fichtner responds to the numerous requests from interested
sailors for whom the smaller sister yacht LA 28, which was one of the eye-catchers at the boot
Düsseldorf 2017, was a little too small for longer trips. The big sister now offers an interior set-up
adapted to the requirements on longer trips with up to four beds and a small pantry. And as its sister
yacht, it is once more a real beauty!

As with the smaller boat, the hull and deck of the LA 35 are made entirely of molded wood and built
using modern vacuum technology. The inner layers are made of sipo and cedarwood, the outer
veneer is made of selected khayawood. As top deck layer the LA 35 receives a noble teak deck. For
the gluing of the veneers, the high-end Waren shipyard uses only high quality EP resin.

As standard, the LA 35 comes as a fixed keel version with T-keel made of a carbon fin with a lead
bomb. Optionally, a swing keel version (2.10 - 0.9 m) will be available. The spade rudder, sitting on a
ball-bearing shaft with tiller steering, is pre-balanced and can optionally be replaced by a twin rudder
with two short rudder blades for the swing keel version of the yacht.

Mast and boom of the LA 35 are made of carbon, come from Selden and are rigged using Dyform
wire. In addition, the yacht has a kicker made of carbon with gas spring, an extendable bowsprit
(carbon optional) for gennaker and code 0 sails and a self-tacking jib system and traveller. Owners
can choose between an electric or a conventional diesel inboard engine.

Below deck, the LA 35 offers sleeping space for up to four people and is suitably equipped for longer
sailing trips. Separated by a door from the saloon, a V-berth for two people with 2.20 meters in
length is located in the bow. The saloon features a small table and the seating can be transformed
easily into two additional berths, allowing four people to sleep comfortably on board. A small pantry
and a bathroom with marine toilet and sink complete the touring equipment.

Leopard 45
New addition to the fleet

Leopard Catamarans announce the arrival of the new Leopard 45 in Europe. With naval architecture
by Simonis & Voogd Yacht Design, and with exterior and interior design by the world-class team at
Robertson and Caine, the Leopard 45 Sailing Catamaran builds on the best attributes of the current
Leopard range. Two immediately noticeable areas of innovation are the exterior styling and interior
accommodations. The exterior styling has evolved into a sharper, more angular look, topped by a
sleek new saloon hard top, which extends from aft cockpit to forward cockpit. The aft area and the
forward cockpit have increased in size, and she is finished off with a saloon sized overhead skylight.

Michael Robertson, Design Engineer at Robertson and Caine, promises an innovative and seaworthy
catamaran, explaining, “We have ensured that all of the best features from our previous designs, as
well as customer feedback, have been rolled into this new design. She has a fresh new look, a really
comfortable interior and she sails well.”

The design of the Leopard 45 is open, modern and fresh, with a focus on quality of finish and
materials. The stylish interior is designed for ample headroom, an ergonomic layout, and delivers
safety and comfort at sea. The forward cockpit is accessible via a weather tight door, and a raised
helm station provides excellent visibility while being well protected. Onboard entertaining is
accentuated with ample dining area and forward-facing U-shaped seating, allowing direct
communication with the galley, which is forward. The interior has an elegant, light finish that is
accented with grey contrasts.

The new Leopard 45 features a 3 cabin-3 head and a 4 cabin-4 head layout. The three-cabin layout
includes 2 cabins in the port hull, leaving the starboard hull entirely dedicated to the owner’s suite,
complete with work station and large private washroom. She also comes with a multitude of special
features and available upgrades. The Leopard 45 is a perfect blend of interior comfort and sailing
pleasure. She’s sleek and nimble, yet convivial. She incorporates a heritage of Leopards spanning 25
years of production proficiency.

Najad 395 AC
A miniature version of a superyacht --- World Premiere at boot 2018

With the new Najad 395 AC, Najad presents a yacht under 40 feet with an aft cockpit designed with a
focus on good sailing characteristics and a lot of comfort for long-distance cruising. Together with its
sister design, the Najad 395 CC, the yacht celebrates its world premiere at the boot Dusseldorf 2018.

The Najad 395 was designed in cooperation with the renowned design team of FARR Yacht Design,
and Ken Freivokh Design is responsible for the interior yacht design. The Najad 395 AC features a
large aft cockpit with twin helm stations, offering the crew plenty of space to operate winches and
lines. At the same time, it provides a well sheltered area for relaxing on deck. The large, fold-down

swim platform at the stern, which invites you to all sorts of water sports activities, is also easy to
operate from the aft cockpit.

As standard, the Naja 395 AC has three large cabins, a spacious owner's cabin in the bow and two aft
cabins that can easily accommodate up to six people in comfortable double beds. With its appealing
interior layout and a generous saloon and pantry, flooded with daylight thanks to the many windows
and skylights, the new Najad 395 AC offers a very pleasant living atmosphere.

Thanks to a very extensive list of options and accessories, the yacht can be tailored to the individual
needs of each individual owner and be equipped accordingly. Colours, fabrics and canvas can be
matched in many different styles, creating a unique interior design of the Najad 395.

The Najad 395 AC is alternatively available as a two-cabin version, convenient for those travelling as a
couple or requiring the extra space below deck for long-distance cruising. In this layout, there is no
aft cabin to starboard, thus allowing room for additional storage space, a large shower area and an
extended nav station. In addition, the shipyard offers further variations of the interior layout, such as
a walk-in wardrobe and additional cabinets.

Najad 505 CC
Lots of comfort and security

The new Najad 505 CC with its very roomy middle cockpit was designed by the famous designer
bureau of judel/vrolijk & co, who provided the new line of center cockpit yachts from Najad with its
own individual character of functional elegance and style. Like her smaller sisters, the Najad 505 CC
celebrates its world premiere at boot Düsseldorf 2018.

The Najad 505 CC meets the high standards of the shipyard regarding quality, security, performance
and comfort, and successfully implements the traditional values of Najad in a groundbreaking
modern way. The yacht sets new accents in the premium class. The new Najad 505 CC is suited for
relaxed weekend trips with a small crew as well as long cruises and ocean passages with more hands
on board, without, however, the necessity to abstain from modern creature comforts.

On deck of the Najad 505 CC the unusually generous cockpit stands out, making it suitable for sailing
in warmer destinations of the globe where more time is spent on deck in the sun. For a 50-foot
cruiser the Najad 505 CC handles extremely well even in rough weather conditions, reacting fast in
manoeuvres and always stable on the water. The well-thought-out deck layout allows the new Najad
to be safely sailed by a crew of two in all weather conditions.

The interior of the Najad 505 CC has a clear, minimalistic design with smooth white panels combined
with traditional mahogany, providing a comfortable, homey atmosphere. The spacious saloon
includes a separate nav station and features two sofas with enough room to seat up to eight people
at the table. The fully equipped kitchen is functional in its design with a well-organized working area
and ample space.

The Najad 505 CC standard version is offered with two large double cabins in the bow and aft, each
with double beds, separate bathrooms and shower cubicles as well as lots of storage space.
Optionally, the Najad 505 CC can be ordered as a three or four cabin version in variable layouts,
making the yacht also interesting for yacht charter companies.

Nautor ClubSwan 50 - World Premiere
Performance racing combined with luxury cruising

With fifty years’ heritage in performance yacht production, Nautor’s Swan has always offered high
performance racing yachts to complement its classic range of cruising Swans. Today the yard uses its
new ClubSwan models to test the most modern trends in design, materials and solutions, refining
technologies that will also benefit Nautor’s cruising models. For example, the Swan 45 and ClubSwan
42, both successful one designs that are still winning in top level races.

With the ClubSwan 50, Nautor has pushed the limits further, developing a yacht that represents a
leap forward in combining performance racing and pure pleasure sailing. The ClubSwan 50, was
conceived to officially celebrate Nautor’s 50th anniversary and represents an innovative concept with
class programme that will see the introduction of a new leading event: The Nations Trophy.

The new ClubSwan 50 is at the cutting edge of contemporary yacht design. The brief was clear and
simple: an extremely fast boat that would also be easy to take to the limit, convertible into a sports
cruiser with limited crew, with captivating looks and the natural elegance of a Swan. It had to be both
competitive in class racing and conceived as a One Design. Naval architecture has been developed by
Juan Kouyoumdjian, the Argentinean designer who also penned the winning Volvo 70 Groupama 4,
Ericsson 4, ABN Amro 1 and the maxi Rambler 88.

The hull is modern and performance oriented with full sections forward and a beamy transom,
reverse bow, reverse sheer, pronounced chines, concave aft sections and reduced freeboard.
Appendages are in the same philosophy, with a carbon blade keel with lead torpedo and twin
rudders for maximum control at high speeds. Construction is light but structurally robust in full pre-
preg carbon as are the mast, boom and fixed bowsprit.

The sail plan is also latest generation: the mast has been positioned slightly aft of centre with a
longer J - ideal for powerful asymmetric spinnakers that can be either full or fractionally rigged. The
square top mainsail has a full shape thanks to running backstays: a perfect combination for the racing
circuit. But the sail plan has also been designed with easy sailing in mind. A few touches transform
the ClubSwan 50 into a docile cruiser, perfect for a couple. In moderate winds the running backstays
can be stowed at the mast, whilst in stronger breezes the double reefed mainsail passes easily in
front of the backstays that can be fixed in position and need no adjustment. The furling Genoa is
easily handled in any condition, whilst in strong winds the generous J allows for a convenient staysail
to be set.

Neel 51
Remarkable bluewater trimaran - nominated for European Yacht of the Year

The Neel 51 is the consistent evolution of the shipyard's multihull design, combining the best of its
predecessors, the Neel 45 and the Neel 65, for unmatched performance and comfort. The sleek lines
and elegant curves of the Neel 51 create a sleek and sporty silhouette that's guaranteed to attract
attention in every port. The Neel 51 was nominated for European Yacht of the Year 2018 in the
multihull category. The decision about the coveted award will be announced at the flagship night of
the boot Düsseldorf in January 2018.

With the new Neel 51 trimaran, the yard is launching a remarkable bluewater yacht, ideal for family
cruises as well as charter operations. The new Neel 51 is extremely user-friendly and easy to handle
even with only a small crew on board. The elevated helm station situated between main deck level
and lounge area on the flybridge provides optimum visibility in all maneuvers at sea and in the
harbor. This contributes greatly to safety on board. In addition, the flybridge offers a spacious seating
area including both a table and a wet bar.

The Neel 51 has an exceptionally spacious and luxurious living space with magnificent panorama
windows that immerse the interior in natural light. The 10 sqm owner suite is located on the main
deck and offers an unobstructed view from the bed over the sea through the two-meter-high
panoramic windows. The suite has a separate bathroom and is on one level with the expansive
saloon and the fully equipped kitchen. Thanks to a sliding glass door, the saloon can be extended,
offering an enormous dinner area seating up to 12 persons altogether.

The Neel 51 offers a total of five cabins below decks. Enough space for up to 8 additional over-night
guests on board in addition to the double owner’s cabin. The bow the middle hull houses a double
cabin with double bed and a freely accessible bathroom midships that has a separate shower cubicle.
The two floats offer each a large double cabin with double beds and private heads, including
separate shower and wc. In addition, the bow sections of each float house a single cabin each.
Alternatively, the Neel 51 is also available as a racing version with three double cabins and three
bathrooms.

Saffier SE 37 Lounge - World Premiere
Light and fast daysailer with overnight option

Pure craftsmanship and love for sailing is what the Saffier boatyard stands for. Wether it is the
building qualities or design all the way until delivery and looking after you once you are sailing, it is
the philosophy of Saffier yachts to consider its owners as family. The yard, which has managed to
gain international recognition by winning a number of prestigious awards over the years, has
positioned itself among the market leaders when it comes to day sailing.

The Saffier Se 37 Lounge has been designed as a daysailer with comfortable space below deck for an
overnight stay on board. A powerful rig, a fast hull in combination with a modern keel, a fixed
bowsprit for easy code zero or gennaker handling and the latest building techniques make the Saffier
Se 37 a light and fast yacht that allows for comfortable and easy sailing.

A unique feature of the Saffier Se 37 Lounge is the forward twin helm and a cockpit free of all ropes
and lines. If required, the yacht can be handled by the helmsmen alone. The mainsail, the self-tacking
jib, code zero or gennaker as well as all sheets and halyards run below deck and can be operated at
the winch station without leaving the position at the helm. All lines can be operated manually or by
an optional electric winch.

The two steering-wheels allow the helmsman accurate control on windward legs and a good view on
all sails, the deck and the surrounding waters. The passage way to the aft deck is kept free and easy.
The cockpit allows room for up to 10 persons and the aft deck can be turned into a great sunbathing
area which also allows easy access to the water through the half open transom.

Access from the cockpit to the saloon below deck is also easy as the difference in height between the
two levels is just one meter and the hatch is generously dimensioned. The designers took care to
allow a lot of natural light below deck in order to create a comfortable atmosphere. There is space
for four persons to stay for the night and a cooking facility including an optional fridge and lockers for
storage.

Solaris 68
Modern and well thought-out bluewater cruising yacht

The new Solaris 68 is the result of decades of experience at Solaris Yachts in the construction of
sailing yachts designed specifically for long-distance cruising. The new flagship of the Solaris One
series, designed by Solaris house designer Javier Soto Acebal, was launched at the shipyard on the
Adriatic at the end of July 2017 and will celebrate its German premiere at the boot Düsseldsorf 2018.

The Solaris 68 combines a high-performance hull with an optimum of comfort and high stability,
which is achieved by the re-location of the engine compartment and fuel tank underneath the central
saloon floor. With its sheer deck, state-of-the-art hull lines and an elegant deck saloon, which
appears more like an apt suggestion of a deck saloon, the new Solaris 68 is still more than just a real

eye-catcher. Thanks to the sophisticated deck layout, the Solaris 68 is easy to handle in maneuvers
and to navigate in any weather, even for short-handed crews.

Below decks, the Solaris 68 is offered in three standard layout versions, each with four double cabins
(3 x double bed, 1 x bunk bed), which differ only in the positioning of the cabins and the related
location of the fully equipped kitchen. All cabins of the Solaris 68 have their own, separate
bathrooms and plenty of storage space. The central saloon is extremely spacious and offers ample
space for comfortably staying below deck. In order to meet the requirements of each and every
yacht owner, the shipyard also offers the option to customize the interior design in collaboration
with the prospective sailing yacht owners.

The Solaris One series consists of the models Solaris 37, Solaris 42, Solaris 47, Solaris 50, Solaris 55,
Solaris 58 and, now, the Solaris 68. These fast but incredibly solid and well-built cruiser-racers
impress with their modern, timeless design (Designer: Javier Soto Acebal) combined with the best,
traditional boatbuilding craftsmanship. As elaborate as hulls, decks and attachments, the production
processes of the interior of each Solaris yacht at Cantiere Se.Ri.Gi. is as elaborate and precise as the
construction of the hull, deck and attachments at the shipyard itself. Experienced boatbuilders spend
many hours of manual work on the teak or oak furniture and fittings.

TOPCAT K4X
Modern sports catamaran for beginners

The new TOPCAT K4X offers modern sailing fun on two GRP hulls. The new model by German boat
builder TOPCAT completes the existing model range of K1, K2 and K3 at the lower end and offers
particularly beginners an inexpensive and action-packed entry into sailing. The new and innovative
hull shape of the new all-rounder, developed using computer simulations, offers more buoyancy
thanks to a U-shaped frame instead of a V-frame, which results in greater safety and a higher speed
potential.

This "next generation boat" provides higher stability than its predecessor K4, mostly thanks to the so-
called "Wavepiercers", negatively inclined stern-post. The danger of capsizing with the older K4-
model was higher due to the so-called "chines" (a broadening in the front, upper area of the floats).
Instead, the new U-frame construction also improves performance by reducing the wetted surface
area compared to a V-shaped construction.

To cater for the needs of the quite different target groups of the TOPCAT K4X, four differently
configurated basic versions are available. Their main difference is in their sail plan. The Solo is aimed
at single-handed sailors, thus featuring only one mainsail. The Classic offers an additional fore sail in
the form of a 2-sqm furling jib. More ambitious sailors can opt for the Streamcut version with a
square top mainsail providing extra power. The TOPCAT K4X "Reacher" includes a furling gennaker
for faster downwind sailing but still easy handling for newcomers to sailing.
